♦ Started off by picking Chikorita, but I soon left it to be an HM slave after Spinweb the Spinarak was caught.
♦ Went through the Sprout Tower and the first gym with him, which was a bit difficult. I had to rely on Poison Sting getting useful with poisoning here.
♦ Continued to Azalea Town, and by now, Spinweb had evolved and could take Bugsy down easily.
♦ In the forest, I caught Reissa the Oddish, whom I trained up in Union Cave before heading up to Goldenrod City.
♦ Whitney was no easy match, but I eventually defeated her. Again, poison helped.
♦ Trekked up to Ecruteak, ran into Bill and went back to obtain my Eevee. Named it Flaria.
♦ Defeated the Kimono Girls and taught Flaria Mud-Slap, to help defeat Morty.
♦ Since I had received Surf, I caught some random Water-type and then went to catch my official surfer and fourth team member, Golddigger the Goldeen.
♦ This quartet got me through the many fears and obstacles of Johto, namely the Gym Leaders and Team Rocket.
♦ In the Ice Path, I caught my final team member, Rougela the Jynx.
♦ She reached up to the rest of the team's levels by training a bit, and also taking care of the Blackthorn Gym.
♦ Went into the Dragon's Den to rightfully claim my badge, and then Prof. Elm called to say I could go to the Pokémon League.
♦ Went through Victory Road and defeated them all.
♦ Same old story afterwards - took the boat to Kanto, defeated leaders and then trained everyone up to Lv 60 to face Red.

♦ Picked Charmander and named it Charlie, and off we were on our final Kanto adventure!
♦ Trained him up until he got Metal Claw and could defeat Brock.
♦ Continued to Mt. Moon, where I caught Miss Mush the Paras.
♦ Did the same to her, and then used her to take down Misty.
♦ Went down to Vermilion City, raided the boat and then beat Lt. Surge.
♦ With my new Cut move I had received on the boat, I backtracked to Cerulean City and went east. Just before the entrance to Rock Tunnel, I caught my next team member, Balloween the Voltorb.
♦ Had to hold off on using it because of the lack in level and movepool, but once we were out, I started training it up as well.
♦ Beat Erika easily with Charlie, raided the Rocket Hideout in the Game Corner and cleared the Pokémon Tower.
♦ Used the newly-obtained Pokéflute on the sleeping Snorlax, and made my way to Fuchsia City.
♦ Picked up the Super Rod on the way, and fished up my final team member, King Klo the Krabby.
♦ Leveled him up on Cycling Road, and then took on the gym. He helped quite a lot with Koga thanks to Mud Shot.
♦ Flew to Saffron City to take on the gym, but realized that the Silph. Co building had been invaded by Rockets. Wiped them all and then finally earned the Marsh Badge.
♦ Surfed to Cinnabar Island and investigated the Pokémon Mansion, earned the Secret Key and was able to challenge the gym.
♦ Blaine was a piece of cake thanks to King Klo.
♦ Helped Bill out with his island shenanigans, and then returned for the final gym.
♦ Giovanni was mostly handled by King Klo, but Miss Mush also contributed to the victory.
♦ Whipped my rival on my way to Victory Road, trekked through it and prepared for the Pokémon League.
♦ Lorelei was taken down by Charlie, Miss Mush and Balloween.
♦ Bruno didn't stand a chance against Charlie and King Klo.
♦ Agatha required a team effort.
♦ Lance was mostly handled by King Klo and his Ice Beam, but also by Charlie's Dragon Claw.
♦ The Champion also required a team effort (as always), but I was crowned the new Champion in the end.

So... that's that! All colors done on every generation, except for 6. I'll consider doing all of them on Y if I get it for Christmas, but I'm not sure about it yet. In any case, this has been a great deal of fun, and hopefully I'll return in the future!

Hey guys, I know this is a double post but I wanted to separate this from my update above.

Recall this rule regarding hack/trading Pokemon that are in the regional Pokedex but not your game:

Quote:

You may also trade in ONE Pokémon of your color that is not available in your game as long as it is part of your game's regional Pokédex. This allows you to play with Pokemon that would normally be exclusive to a different game in your region, i.e. Mismagius and Honchkrow in Diamond and Pearl, respectively, as well as Platinum.

It must not be higher in level than your weakest Pokemon in your team at the time, or be an egg (the preferred option by far).

If you are using an emulator, the Pokemon should definitely be in an egg, unless you are playing Generation I, in which case you may hack it in, as long as it is lower in level than your weakest team member.

I want to clarify an issue regarding this rule that some people have asked about and I have been thinking about for a little while. There are some games that have Pokemon in their regional Pokedex that are not able to be obtained normally until after the challenge has been completed, but are not "version exclusive" per se. For example, the Unova fossil Pokemon in B2/W2, Archen and Tirtouga, can only be revived after beating the Elite Four in B2W2, but are not technically version exclusive, and they have been allowed as hack/trade options under this rule.

I recently realized that this could open the door for other Pokemon in the same boat, so I did some research, and this is the list of Pokemon in each Regional Pokedex that are not available until after the challenge is complete:

What about things like Murkrow, Houndour, and Misdreavus in GSC and HGSS (Houndour specifically)? Those are available before Red, but not for the primary game. I realize you could still do the challenge with them, but it would be significantly harder to wait for them until you've beaten the vast majority of the game.

I realize you could still do the challenge with them, but it would be significantly harder to wait for them until you've beaten the vast majority of the game.

I didn't include them precisely for that reason, as the challenge doesn't end until Red. I know Houndour is the odd man out here, as Misdreavus and Murkrow are both available in the HGSS Safari Zone while you are still in Johto, but the Johto games have always been a bit abnormal in comparison to the rest on the main series games.

Hey, so I took a long hiatus from this challenge because grinding in Johto/Kanto is the worst. Here's what happened:
+Beat the Elite 4 and Champion yay!
+Went to Kanto and did all the sidequests that needed to be done.
+Did some calculations to decide which gym leaders to take on first.
+Defeated Janine no problem and got the Soul Badge.
+Beat Lt. Surge and got the Thunder Badge.
+Beat Misty and got the Cascade Badge.
+Beat Brock and got the Boulder Badge.

Currently: Doing some inbetween training before taking on the second half of Kanto and debating whether or not to use Suicune.

Planned Team: Beautifly, Pelipper, Ninjask, Makuhita, Girafarig, Lunatone, Manectric, Plusle, Minun, Numel - These are all the yellow pokemon I can get... I am thinking about using Pelipper - for water typing than Beautifly because it can learn giga drain and solar beam. Than Girafarig because of it's typing, Manectric because it's electric type- Lunatone because of rock typing and than last one Ninjask - Because of it's speed.

I am a fan of Criminal Minds, Crossing Jordan and some other series. I am also Harry Potter fan and Disney fan (I love Frozen!) - I also like other animes beside Pokemon.

After training all my pokemon to level 70, I went to confront the Elite Four,
only to find that their levels were still the same. So I went through Stark Mountain,
beat Mars and Jupiter, and went back to fight the Elite Four.
